it's the small things...

that really add up and make a happy home.

I hope I don't make you want to gag.. just had to share my happy thoughts :)

I was thinking this morning, it really is the small things that make me happy. Scott and I both realize this and try hard to do the "little things" that add up and make a happy home and a happy marriage. No, after 2 years we BY FAR do not have it all figured out.. I don't know if you even have it all figured out after 50 years of marriage! But I would say that he knows what makes me happy and tries to do those little things, and the same for me. For instance:

-2 eggs, easy over and two pieces of toast most week day mornings together
-simply getting out of bed to spend a little extra time together before our work day
-letting me have the remote
-flowers from Albertson's when he goes to pick up a few things for us
-having a glass of wine together
-not turning on the tv at night and just talking about our day/life/whatever
-picking up after me around the house without complaining that i'm sometimes messy
-staying in pajamas til noon on a Saturday drinking coffee and enjoying the moment
-praying together
-cooking together
-antique shopping without ever buying a single thing

We have said so many times how happy we are and we feel so blessed to have each other. We also feel so blessed to have our friends and family there for us who have helped us become who we are! Don't you love, LOVE? :)
